Casey Stengel, uniform retired 1970

As Yankees manager from 1949-1960, the "Ol' Perfesser" was baseball's greatest and most colorful ambassador. Casey's success was extraordinary and his enthusiasm was just as splendid.

Bill Dickey, uniform retired 1972

A member of seven world championship Yankee teams, Bill is considered the greatest catcher of all-time. He was an exemplary Yankee from 1928-1946.

Yogi Berra, uniform retired 1972

Yogi was one of the best catchers and clutch hitters of all-time. A Yankee from 1946-1963, he played in more World Series (14) than anyone else in history.

(The number 8 is retired for both men because Berra was essentially Dickey's successor, and was given his number.)

Whitey Ford, uniform retired 1974

Whitey rose from playing stickball on the streets of New York to become one of the greatest pitchers to ever step on the mound. From 1950-1967, he led the Yankees to eleven World Series.

Thurman Munson, uniform retired 1979

From 1969-1979, Thurman was the heart and soul of the Yankees. He helped resurrect the Yankees' glory by leading the Bombers to three World Series. His dedication and hard work made him one of the premier catchers and hitters of his time.

Elston Howard, uniform retired 1984

Elston was a true gentleman. An outstanding Yankee from 1955-1967, Ellie represents another link in the team's tradition of great catchers. His contributions to the Yankees, on and off the field, will never be forgotten.

Roger Maris, uniform retired 1984

Roger was the Yankees' right fielder from 1960-1966 and helped lead them to five straight pennants. He was one of the most celebrated and courages Yankees ever. His slugging prowess was only surpassed by his dedication to the game and his teammates.
